[Chemical Knowledge]：Specification for storage and transportation of concentrated sulfuric acid

Safety of concentrated sulfuric acid storage and transportation specification

1. Introduction

Concentrated sulfuric acid is a widely used raw material for chemical production. Due to its strong corrosion and danger, it has extremely high safety requirements for storage and transportation. In order to ensure the safety of employees and the safety of enterprise property, it is very important to formulate the safe storage and transportation specifications of concentrated sulfuric acid.

2. the nature and harm of concentrated sulfuric acid

concentrated sulfuric acid is a colorless oily liquid, with high corrosion and strong oxidation. When it reacts with metals, non-metals and some organic compounds, it will release a lot of heat, and even cause combustion and explosion. In addition, concentrated sulfuric acid has strong irritation and toxicity, which is seriously harmful to human skin and eyes.

3. concentrated sulfuric acid storage specification

1. The storage place should choose a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, away from fire, heat and direct sunlight.
2. The storage container shall be made of acid-resistant materials, such as glass fiber reinforced plastic, ceramic or stainless steel, and shall be inspected and maintained regularly to ensure that the container is intact.
3. The storage area shall be provided with obvious safety warning signs, and equipped with corresponding fire-fighting equipment and leakage emergency treatment equipment.
4. During storage, the container should be kept closed to avoid contact between concentrated sulfuric acid and air to prevent moisture absorption and oxidation.

4. of concentrated sulfuric acid transportation specifications

1. Transportation vehicles should have corresponding qualifications and certificates, and drivers should be professionally trained to be familiar with the nature of concentrated sulfuric acid and transportation safety knowledge.
2. During transportation, it is necessary to keep running smoothly, avoid violent vibration and collision, and prevent container damage and leakage.
3. Transport vehicles shall be equipped with corresponding fire-fighting equipment and leakage emergency treatment equipment to deal with emergencies.
4. During transportation, relevant laws, regulations and standards shall be observed to ensure transportation safety.

5. concentrated sulfuric acid leakage emergency treatment

1. In case of concentrated sulfuric acid leakage, immediately start the emergency plan and organize professionals to deal with it.
2. A warning line shall be set up in the leakage area to prohibit irrelevant personnel from entering, and measures shall be taken to prevent the diffusion of concentrated sulfuric acid and environmental pollution.
3. alkaline absorbent can be used to neutralize the leakage of concentrated sulfuric acid to avoid its reaction with metals and other causes of combustion or explosion.
4. Personal protective equipment such as protective clothing and gloves should be worn during the treatment to avoid direct contact with concentrated sulfuric acid.

6. Training and Education

1. Conduct regular training and education for staff engaged in the storage and transportation of concentrated sulfuric acid to improve their safety awareness and operational skills.
2. The training content shall include the knowledge of the nature and hazards of concentrated sulfuric acid, storage and transportation specifications, and emergency treatment of leakage.
3. Through training and education, ensure that the staff are familiar with and master the safety storage and transportation specifications of concentrated sulfuric acid, and improve work efficiency and safety.

7. supervision and inspection

1. Establish a sound supervision and inspection mechanism to regularly inspect and evaluate the storage and transportation process of concentrated sulfuric acid.
2. The inspection contents shall include the safety facilities of storage and transportation places, the integrity of containers, the allocation of fire-fighting equipment and leakage emergency treatment equipment, etc.
3. For the problems and hidden dangers found in the inspection, timely measures should be taken to rectify them to ensure the safety of storage and transportation of concentrated sulfuric acid.

8. conclusion

concentrated sulfuric acid is an important raw material for chemical production, and its safe storage and transportation are very important. By formulating standardized storage and transportation specifications, strengthening staff training and education, and establishing a sound supervision and inspection mechanism, it can ensure that the storage and transportation process of concentrated sulfuric acid is safe and controllable, and ensure the production safety of enterprises and the health of employees.
